Highlights of the materials
Made like no other — from recycled plastic bottles. REPREVE® recycled polyester is one of the most certified, traceable fibers in the world. High-quality recycled fibers are made from 100% recycled materials, including post-consumer water bottles and pre-consumer waste.
The high-tech MESH UPPER fits the foot perfectly and guarantees the wearer lasting breathability, flexibility, and unmistakable comfort. The airy texture of the fabric guarantees optimal air circulation and thus ensures a permanently pleasant foot climate. It envelops the foot with a supportive fit that improves movement.
The Sportline upper material is a fabric made of textile fibers that combines a wide range of advantages. The fabric is particularly air-permeable, breathable, and therefore very comfortable to wear. Thanks to its hydrophobic properties, it is also water-repellent, quick-drying, and durable.
Especially in everyday working life, when physical exertion is high, temperature-regulating properties are not only required but expected. The active-X functional lining stands for the highest quality and innovative technology, offering the wearer lasting, active moisture regulation. It is skin-friendly, abrasion-resistant, and does not stain.
With its penetration-resistant XP® technology, ATLAS offers an innovative system for protecting the foot against sharp objects such as nails. This system uses a high-tech textile material that contains aramid fibers, among other things. The increased safety does not come at the expense of comfort, as the textile is metal-free, extremely lightweight, and supports the natural torsion of the foot
Alu-tec® technology: the new lightness. Aluminum has not only been used for years in aviation and the automotive industry as a high-tech material, but also in many ATLAS safety shoes today. The anatomically shaped aluminum toe cap is particularly lightweight and shifts the shoe's center of gravity to the middle of the foot. This actively helps to prevent tripping accidents caused by imbalance. The thermally neutral behavior of aluminum also prevents cold spots from forming inside the shoe, guaranteeing a comfortable foot climate in all seasons.

Corporate values
ATLAS pursues the goal of laying the foundations for future generations today – with conscious use of resources and a clear commitment to sustainability. For the people behind the brand, this is a daily source of drive and motivation.
History
The history of ATLAS began in 1910 with the founding of the “Unnaer Schuhfabrik” (Unna Shoe Factory) by Johannes Schabsky, the great-great-grandfather of the current owner, Hendrik Schabsky. At that time, 16 employees produced protective shoes for the mining and steel industries. Daily production was around 80 pairs of shoes, made from wooden soles and leather parts.
With structural changes in the coal and steel industry, the company shifted its focus to other industries such as the automotive, construction, and chemical sectors. In 1972, the company moved from Unna to Dortmund to the new Wickede-Süd industrial park. After Hans Schabsky's death in 1971, his wife Christine Schabsky and later his son Werner Schabsky took over the management of the company. The company grew steadily and soon employed over 100 people.
A serious setback occurred in 1979 when the factory burned down completely. The reconstruction was successful thanks to the great commitment of the workforce. In the following years, the site was expanded several times – most recently in 2020. Today, the operating area covers around 60,000 square meters.ATLAS has doubled its sales over the last ten years. The Dortmund site is undergoing continuous development. In 2020, for example, the new 4.0 building was opened – a CO₂-neutral facility with modern social and office areas and a new hall for final assembly. Fossil-free heating systems underline the company's commitment to sustainability.
ATLAS now has its own branches in the Netherlands, Denmark, Hungary, and Poland and works closely with specialist dealers throughout Europe.
Sustainability
ATLAS strives for a world in which every effort is made to protect health holistically—both the physical health of people in the workplace and that of the planet with its limited resources.
Safety is considered a fundamental need and is one of the most important assets worth protecting. This understanding gives rise to products that reliably protect people from danger.
Through economically, ecologically, and socially responsible actions, the negative effects of business activities on the environment are to be minimized—with the aim of securing a livable future for coming generations.
ATLAS develops and manufactures safety shoes that meet the highest standards of stability, quality, durability, and protection—for people and the environment alike.
In 2023, six strategic goals were defined as key areas of action on the path to realizing this vision. These topics are the focus of our efforts to bring about sustainable change through innovation and responsibility.
The vision: to make everyday working life safer, healthier, and more responsible—step by step toward a sustainable future.
